3. Sweet Sacrament of rest, Ark from the ocean's roar, Within Thy shelter blest, Soon may we reach the shore. Save us, for stilJ the tempest raves, Save, les t we sink beneath the waves, Sweet Sacrament of rest, Sweet Sacrament of rest.

4. Sweet Sacrament Divine, Earth's light and jubilee, In Thy far depths doth shine, Thy Godhead's majesty. Sweet light, so shine on us, we pray, T hat earthly joys may fade away, Sweet Sacrament Divine, Sweet Sacrament Divine.

"0! What Could My Jesus Do More"

0! what could my Jesus do more, Or what great er blessings impart?

0 silence my soul and adore, And press him still nearer thy heart.

' Tis here from my labour 1'11 rest, Since he makes my poor heart his abode, To him all my cares I ' ll address And speak to the heart of my God

In life and in death thou art mine, My Saviour, I'm sealed with thy Blood, 'Till eternity on me doth shine,

J'\1 live on the flesh of my god.

Jn Jesus triumphant ['11 live, ln Jesus triumphant T'U die, The terrors ofdeath calmly brave, In his bosom breathe out my last sigh.

The translation

Heavenly bread

That becomes the bread of all mankind; Bread from the angelic host, That is the end of all imaginings.

0, miraculous thing! This Body ofGod will nourish Even the poorest, The most humble ofservants.

0 God, one substance in Three Persons, We beseech Thee, Com e to visit us, As we adore Thee, Guide us on the paths Wither we direct our course, To the light

Wherein Thou dost dwell.

Peace Like a River''

When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea-billows roll, · Whatever m y lot Thou has taught me to say It is well , it is well with my soul.

It is well with my soul It is well. it is well with my soul.

Tho' Satan should buffet tho' trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My s in-oh , the bli ss of this g lorious thought, My s in not in parL but the whol e, Is nailed to th e cro ss and 1 bear it no more , Prai s e the Lord , prais e the Lord , oh my s oul.

And , Lord , haste the day when my faith s hall be sight, The clouds be roll ed back as a s croll , The trump shall re s ound and the Lord s hall descend , " Even so ," it is well with my soul.

Perfect Peacen

Peace perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.

Peace perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed? To do the will of Jesus , this is rest.

Peace perfect peace, with sorrows surging round? On Jesus bosom nought but calm is found.

Peace perfect pea ce , with loved ones far away? In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.

HYMN ............................................................. "Peace

Peace perfect peace, our future all unknown? Je sus we know and He is on the throne.

Peace perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.

It is enough , earth 's struggles soon shall cease, And Jesus calls us to heaven's

Blessed assurance Jesus is mine, 0 what a foretaste of glory divine, Heir of salvation, purchased of God, Born ofHis spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain: This is my story, is my song, Praising my Saviour all the day long, This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Saviour all the long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight, Visions of rapture now burst on my sight, Angels descending, bring from above, Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission all is at rest, I in my Saviour am happy and blest, Watching and wa itin g, l ooking above, Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

I am weak but Thou art strong, Jesus keep me f rom all wrong, I am satisfied as long as I walk, Let me walk c lose to Thee.

Refrain: Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it Jesus, is my plea, Dally walking close to Thee, Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

Through this world of toil and snares, If I falte r, Lord who cares?

Who with me my burden shares, None but Thee, dear Lord, none but Thee.

HYMN "Blessed Assurance"

HYMN "Just a Closer Walk"

When my feeble life is o'er, Time for me will be no more, Guide me saJe ly, gently o'er, To Thy kingdom shore, to Thy shore.
